Infonetics: Doubling Year-over-Year, PBX-Based Video Systems Keeping Enterprise Video Market Afloat

Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its 1^st quarter (1Q13) Enterprise Telepresence and Video Conferencing Equipment market share and forecast report, which tracks dedicated and PBX-based videoconferencing and telepresence infrastructure and endpoints (desktop, telepresence, videophones, multipurpose rooms and software).

ANALYST NOTE

"Dedicated video systems continue to struggle, but PBX-based systems are picking up the slack," notes Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research. "Declines in dedicated systems are almost perfectly offset by growth in PBX systems, which doubled year-over-year in the first quarter of 2013, as enterprises seek out lower-cost multimedia communication solutions."

1Q13 TELEPRESENCE AND VIDEOCONFERENCING MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

• Worldwide revenue for enterprise videoconferencing and telepresence equipment and software declined to $661 million in 1Q13, a 20% sequential drop
• Dedicated system sales are down 26% in 1Q13 from 4Q12, mostly due to slow demand for immersive telepresence systems
• Conversely, sales of PBX-based video systems grew 18% sequentially in 1Q13 and are up 118% from the year-ago quarter
• Videophones, the fastest-growing hardware endpoint segment, posted another strong quarter
• EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) surprises in 1Q13, outstripping growth in North America and Asia Pacific
• Cisco continues as the top provider of videoconferencing equipment, followed by Polycom (News - Alert) and Huawei
